Pavilion Master Jiang followed behind Liu Ling to the main hall.
"Paying respect to teacher!" Clasping his fist and bowing, Zhang Xuan heard his teacher's voice asking, "Does our Mingshi Tang have any information regarding 'Celestial Kong Shi'?"
"Celestial Kong Shi?"
Pavilion Master Jiang was taken aback. "There are some records regarding Kong Shi in the 2-star book collection vault, but they aren't too detailed..."
"Bring me over to take a look!" Hearing the other party's confirmation, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Even though the Innate Fetal Poison didn't affect him much at the moment, it was still a huge problem for him to limit his lifespan.
It would be best if he could resolve it in advance.
"Yes!" Pavilion Master Jiang nodded.
Even though only 2-star master teachers were allowed to enter the 2-star book collection vault of Mingshi Tang, given his teacher's capability, he was bound to be far above that of a 2-star master teacher.
Following behind Jiang Shu, Zhang Xuan headed to Mingshi Tang.
The residence wasn't too far away from Mingshi Tang, so it didn't take long for them to arrive at the 2-star book collection vault.
After instructing Pavilion Master Jiang not to follow, Zhang Xuan walked in alone.
There were many books in the book collection vault, and there wasn't much for him to do at the moment anyway.
In just half a day, he had already collected all of the books in the 2-star book collection vault into the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Kong Shi!"
With a thought, two books appeared before Zhang Xuan.
He casually flipped them open.
"Celestial Kong Shi, Innate Saint Soul Energy..."
It detailed some of Kong Shi's feats.
After reading through Kong Shi's feats before he was thirty, Zhang Xuan realized that something was amiss.
Not only was Kong Shi talented, he was also extremely diligent in his cultivation. In order to raise his cultivation, he risked his life by diving into the sea, venturing into the wilderness, and venturing into the Subterranean Gallery... Before he was thirty, he had already reached Nine Stars!
However, after reaching Nine Stars, his cultivation seemed to have slowed down. All that was left was for him to impart knowledge to the world, establish Mingshi Tang, and rule over the entire continent... Even though his feats were still as glorious as before, it was clearly different from before.
"Could it be that... reaching Nine Stars is the key to resolving the Innate Fetal Poison?"
His heart skipped a beat.
Unlike other occupations, master teachers had a strict requirement on their cultivation. For example, if one wasn't a Zongshi realm master teacher, the Beast Hall and Painter Guild would still be able to issue an emblem to them. However, in Mingshi Tang, one wasn't even qualified to take the examination.
Therefore, reaching the rank of Nine Stars not only required one to have an extremely high Soul Power Scale, but one's cultivation would also have to reach a shocking level.
If the Innate Fetal Poison could only be cured after reaching that level, then it would be too much of a scam!
"Give it a try!"
A blank book appeared in Zhang Xuan's hands. Taking out a brush, Zhang Xuan casually wrote a sentence on it: "Reaching Nine Stars Master Teacher can cure the Innate Fetal Poison!"
His finger touched it.
Buzz!
A book materialized in the Library of Heaven's Path, and Zhang Xuan hurriedly flipped it open.
There were no mistakes in the book in his mind. In other words … this sentence was correct!
"Only after reaching Nine Stars can I neutralize the Innate Fetal Poison. In other words... I have to reach Nine Stars before thirty?"
Zhang Xuan's body swayed, and he was on the verge of tears.
The heck, do you have to be so scammer?
Others possessed the Innate Formidable Constitution, such as Zhao Ya and Yuan Tao... The moment they activated it, their strength would soar like a rocket.
Putting aside the fact that the Innate Fetal Poison would cause one to die upon activation, he even had to reach Nine Stars before thirty?
Are you for real?
Nine Stars Master Teachers were experts who could shake the entire continent with just a stomp of their feet.
Every single one of them had lived for countless years, and to reach Nine Stars before thirty...
Even though he had the Library of Heaven's Path, making it easy for him to cultivate, where was he supposed to find so much spiritual energy? More importantly... where was he supposed to find so many secret manuals to compile the Heaven's Path Divine Art?
With a depressed look on his face, Zhang Xuan wrote another sentence.
"Other than reaching Nine Stars Master Teacher, there are other ways to cure the Innate Fetal Poison!"
His finger touched the book once more.
Weng!
A new book appeared, and there were no mistakes in it.
"There are other ways..."
Seeing that there were no mistakes, Zhang Xuan grew agitated.
However, after a moment of agitation, a bitter look appeared on his face.
What was the use of knowing that there were other ways? As long as he didn't provide any concrete directions, it would be equivalent to having no solution at all.
It was just like how he knew that he would be able to fly if he were to transform into a bird, but... it was a pity that he was unable to do so.
"Forget it. Since there are other ways, I should be able to find them. If it comes down to it, I'll just try them one by one!"
After a moment of depression, Zhang Xuan got over it.
With the Library of Heaven's Path in his possession, even though he wasn't able to provide the correct solution, he would be able to determine whether it was correct or not. If it came down to it, he could just experiment on them one by one.
In any case, he was still far from thirty, so there was no need for him to be in such a rush.
After working for quite a while, the sky finally turned dark. Stretching his back lazily, Zhang Xuan walked out of his room.
After leaving Mingshi Tang, he returned to the academy and continued helping Lu Chong temper his Poison Body. After which, he entered the small classroom and took out the spirit stone.
Spiritual energy flowed within the crystalline stone, and as soon as he took out the jade box, it felt warm and comfortable.
"Cultivate!"
Since he had the Heaven's Path Divine Art and the spirit stone, there was no need for him to hesitate.
Everything was fake. Only strength was real.
With sufficient strength, even if he didn't disguise himself as' Yang Xuan ', he would still be respected by others.
Placing the jade stone in his palm, Zhang Xuan placed his palms together and began cultivating according to the Zongshi realm Heaven's Path Divine Art.
Gugugu!
Spiritual energy immediately gushed into his meridians, converted into the purest zhenqi, and slowly gathered in his dantian.
His cultivation was also rising steadily under the infusion of spiritual energy.
Zongshi realm primary stage!
Zongshi realm intermediate stage!
An hour later, his cultivation reached Zongshi realm intermediate stage, and he was just a step away from Zongshi realm advanced stage.
Kacha!
Just as he was about to push for Zongshi realm advanced stage, a crisp sound echoed from the spirit stone in his palm, and it shattered into dust.
The spiritual energy within the spirit stone was completely depleted.
Looking at the devoid of spiritual energy within the spirit stone, Zhang Xuan scratched his head. "So useless?"
Previously, he thought that with this spirit stone, it wouldn't be a problem for him to reach Zongshi realm pinnacle. But from the looks of it now...
Even though the spirit stone was rich in spiritual energy, there was a limit to how much spiritual energy it could absorb. If it was any other Zongshi, they might be able to reach Zongshi realm pinnacle, but Zhang Xuan was different.
The Heaven's Path zhenqi was incomparably pure, and it had a higher requirement on the amount of spiritual energy it could absorb. The slightest impurity would render it useless. As such, more than half of the spiritual energy within the spirit stone would go to waste. It was already a blessing that it was able to help him reach Zongshi realm intermediate stage!
"If a spirit stone isn't enough, doesn't the emperor want me to treat his illness? If it doesn't work, I can get two more over here... "
After experiencing the speed at which the spirit stone could achieve a breakthrough, Zhang Xuan's mind began to race.
Since the emperor was willing to give him a spirit stone as a gift, there was a high chance that he had more of them. If he could get a few more, he would be able to reach Zongshi realm pinnacle easily!
With such strength, even without his identity as a master teacher, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in Tianwu Kingdom.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan passed the poison stone to Lu Chong and instructed him on how to use it. After which, he left the classroom and headed for the royal palace.
...
Tianwu royal palace.
"Emperor Tianxue, the reason why our Prince Fei Xuan traveled all the way here is to propose a marriage with Princess Mo Yu. Once our Kunqian Kingdom and Tianwu Kingdom get married, the other kingdoms won't dare to harbor any other thoughts!"
In the main hall, an elder clasped his fist and reported to Mo Tianxue.
Kunqian Kingdom's Envoy Ran Mu.
A Zongshi realm pinnacle expert.
Beside him was a twenty-five-year-old young man. He had a handsome face and an imposing aura, and he had actually reached Tongxuan realm pinnacle as well!
The young man's eyes were fixated on Princess Mo Yu, and he didn't conceal his adoration for her at all.
However, Mo Yu frowned. Not only was she uninterested in this prince, there was even a tinge of disgust in her eyes.
"Envoy Ran Mu, there's no need to worry. Mo Yu is my most beloved child, and we can discuss her marriage in the future. There's no rush!" Mo Tianxue didn't reject nor agree to it.
"Your Majesty Tianxue has said this many times already. The reason why I accompanied Prince Fei Xuan here is to facilitate this matter!"
Envoy Ran Mu chuckled, "I heard that something has happened to your country's guardian beast, and you have been using a formation to trap it. May I know if this is true?"
Mo Tianxue's face darkened, "Envoy, why do you say so?"
"Hehe!" Envoy Ran Mu glanced at Mo Tianxue, "Since our Kunqian Kingdom is aware of this matter, the other kingdoms should be aware of it as well! As long as Your Majesty agrees to our marriage, I will offer you a stalk of [Spirit Beast Grass]! I believe that no savage beast would be able to reject such an offer! "
"Spirit Beast Grass?"
Mo Tianxue frowned.
Savage beasts were similar to cultivators. There were Tongxuan realm, Zongshi realm, and even Zhizun realm savage beasts.
Beyond Zhizun realm, there would be a qualitative change in their existence, and they would be known as spirit beasts.
Spirit Beast Grass was a medicinal herb that grew in places where spiritual energy was concentrated. Spirit beasts were fond of it, and they would flock to it like a flock of ducks.
The value of this Spirit Beast Grass was probably on par with spirit stones!
Of course, its rarity wasn't enough to shock Mo Tianxue. More importantly, this medicinal herb was extremely effective in alleviating the injuries and illnesses of savage beasts. If a Zhizun realm savage beast could consume it regularly, it would have a chance of becoming a spirit beast.
The main reason why Tianwu Kingdom was able to become a Tier 1 Kingdom was because it had a Half-Zhizun realm guardian beast.
However, the condition of the guardian beast wasn't too good at the moment. This was also the reason why he befriended Zhang Xuan and invited him to treat it.
If he had a stalk of Spirit Beast Grass, even if it couldn't cure the guardian beast, it could at least alleviate its injuries.
However, he was going to groom Mo Yu as the future emperor, so how could he possibly give her a stalk of Spirit Beast Grass? Just as he was about to speak, Mo Yu stepped forward.
"Father, since you have proposed marriage to me, may I say something as well?"
"Feel free to speak!" Mo Tianxue nodded.
"Actually, I'm a simple person. I don't have much of an opinion on this matter, but..."
Looking at Prince Fei Xuan, Mo Yu said calmly, "You know that I'm a beast tamer, and my tamed beast doesn't have a good temper. The moment someone approaches it, it will fly into a rage. If Prince Fei Xuan can defeat my tamed beast, I don't mind agreeing to the marriage!"
"Defeat your tamed beast? Are you serious? "Prince Fei Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Of course!"
Chuckling lightly, Mo Yu waved her hands, and a massive Viridescent Eagle flew over.
